For the first time in so long, I feel like I am really, truly healing. I can feel it in the very depths of my body and soul. Something is changing, and I am recovering in a way I have never experienced before.
Living a life with chronic illness and autoimmune disease can feel rocky, unstable, and unpredictable at times. Today, I want to remind you that doesn’t mean your health knowledge and progress you’ve made so far is invalid or worthless.
Recovering from trauma and PTSD of any source is a long, difficult process. These strategies have brought me far on my healing journey, and I hope they can for you as well.
Sometimes life gives you lemons, and you can’t make lemonade. Some days the pain and overwhelm are too much to bear. Other days I can find joy in the little things, as well as hope in the progress I have made and the potential for continued improvement.
No one wants to helplessly watch their loved one suffer. Yet, because “fixing” chronic illness is not really possible in the traditional sense and treating it is nowhere near straightforward, things get complicated.
You aren’t a failure if your chronic illness scares you. Your emotions are valid, and your low points don’t mean your progress is invalid, meaningless, or pretend.
Experiencing these post-Covid complications has turned my life upside down. I’m thankful for the progress I have made, however, and I hope to continue recovering as quickly and linearly as possible.
